Job

Chapter 11

1 Then answered6030 Zophar6691 the Naamathite,5284 and said,559

2 Should not3808 the multitude7230 of words1697 be answered?6030 and should518 a man376 full of talk8193 be justified?6663

3 Should thy lies907 make men4962 hold their peace?2790 and when thou mockest,3932 shall no369 man make thee ashamed?3637

4 For thou hast said,559 My doctrine3948 is pure,2134 and I am1961 clean1249 in thine eyes.5869

5 But199 oh that4310 God433 would5414 speak,1696 and open6605 his lips8193 against5973 thee;

6 And that he would show5046 thee the secrets8587 of wisdom,2451 that3588 they are double3718 to that which is!8454 Know3045 therefore that3588 God433 exacteth5382 of thee less than thine iniquity4480 5771 deserveth.

7 Canst thou by searching2714 find out4672 God?433 canst thou find out4672 the Almighty7706 unto5704 perfection?8503

8 It is as high1363 as heaven;8064 what4100 canst thou do?6466 deeper6013 than hell;4480 7585 what4100 canst thou know?3045

9 The measure4055 thereof is longer752 than the earth,4480 776 and broader7342 than4480 the sea.3220

10 If518 he cut off,2498 and shut up,5462 or gather together,6950 then who4310 can hinder7725 him?

11 For3588 he1931 knoweth3045 vain7723 men:4962 he seeth7200 wickedness205 also; will he not3808 then consider995 it?

12 For vain5014 man376 would be wise,3823 though man120 be born3205 like a wild ass's6501 colt.5895

13 If518 thou859 prepare3559 thine heart,3820 and stretch out6566 thine hands3709 toward413 him;

14 If518 iniquity205 be in thine hand,3027 put it far away,7368 and let not408 wickedness5766 dwell7931 in thy tabernacles.168

15 For3588 then227 shalt thou lift up5375 thy face6440 without spot;4480 3971 yea, thou shalt be1961 steadfast,3332 and shalt not3808 fear: 3372

16 Because3588 thou859 shalt forget7911 thy misery,5999 and remember2142 it as waters4325 that pass away: 5674

17 And thine age2465 shall be clearer6965 than the noonday;4480 6672 thou shalt shine forth,5774 thou shalt be1961 as the morning.1242

18 And thou shalt be secure,982 because3588 there3426 is hope;8615 yea, thou shalt dig2658 about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest7901 in safety.983

19 Also thou shalt lie down,7257 and none369 shall make thee afraid;2729 yea, many7227 shall make suit2470 unto6440 thee.

20 But the eyes5869 of the wicked7563 shall fail,3615 and they shall not escape,4498 6 4480 and their hope8615 shall be as the giving up4646 of the ghost.5315

約伯記

第11章

1 拿瑪人瑣法回答說:

2 這許多的言語豈不該回答嗎?多嘴多舌的人豈可稱為義嗎?

3 你的謊話[lies]豈能使人不作聲嗎?你戲笑的時候豈沒有人叫你慚愧[ashamed]嗎?

4 你說:我的道理純全;我在你眼前潔淨。

5 唯願神說話;願他張嘴[open his lips]攻擊你,

6 並將智慧的奧秘指示你,就是智慧是有兩面的[that they are double to that which is]。所以當知道神追討你比你罪孽該得的還少。

7 你考察就能測透神嗎?你豈能盡情測透全能者嗎?

8 他的智慧高於天,你還能做甚麼?深於地獄[hell],你還能知道甚麼?

9 其量比地長,比海寬。

10 他若剪除[cut off],將人拘禁,或是招聚[or gather together],誰能阻擋他呢?

11 他本知道虛妄的人;人的罪惡[wickedness],他既是[also]無所不見,豈不留意嗎[not then consider it]

12 人生在世[though]像野驢的駒子,空虛的人卻願得智慧[would be wise]

13 你若預備己心[prepare thine heart],又向主舉手;

14 你手裏若有罪孽,就當遠遠地除掉,也不容罪惡[wickedness]住在你帳棚之中。

15 那時,你必仰起臉來毫無斑點;你也必堅固,無所懼怕。

16 [Because]你必忘記你的苦楚,就是想起也如流過去的水一樣。

17 你的年歲[age]要比正午更明;你必發出光來,如同早晨[thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning]

18 你因有盼望[hope],就必穩固;[thou]必四圍掘開地土[dig],坦然安息。

19 你躺臥,無人驚嚇,且有許多人向你求恩。

20 但惡人的眼目必要失明,他們不得逃脫[shall not escape],他們的盼望[hope][as]是氣絕。
